    Places like these are a humbling reminder that, whatever we may do to the planet, in its time, our impact will be erased, our presence forgotten, and nature will move forward as if we'd never existed...

      @@shawnmurphy2047 I accept that there are solar and other cycles at-play in the cooling and warming of the planet, and that they're going to happen whether we've had some small part in them or not. Look how many different "climate emergencies" have been claimed in the past fifty years: global cooling, ozone depletion, global warming, and climate change.
      What blows my mind is that "Planet of the Humans" shows all the ways in which "green energy" is as destructive as any other source, and costs more to produce less.
      We'd literally be better-off going back to small, agrarian, semi-nomadic, tribal lifestyles, but you'll rarely hear that suggested among most eco-preachers.

      Yep, humans can neither create climate change, nor prevent it with "carbon credits"
      Latest scam is how C19 is creating positive benefits for the environment.
      Research UN Lockstep, Agenda 21 and 2030 and all the Sustainable Development bullshit.

    Dustin, your vid reminded me of one overgrown town North of Mobile, AL. About all you can see now are some curbs & the old jail, because it was concrete & steel. The other was just North of Panama City, Fl on the part of Deerpoint Lake, just North of the dam. Some of the concrete street markers are sticking out of the shallows. You might need to think about some safety lines, when walking on decade, crumbling floors. Could be terrible to get seriously injured in a remote spot.

    the reason Pioneer has different foundations than Bradian is because it's much older, Pioneer got started in the 1910s, Bralorne (which includes Bradian) didn't get started until the 1920s; Bradian being "Third Townsite" didn't get built until much after 1st and 2nd Townsites and it was never a "town" but just a neighbourhood of Bralorne; specifically housing for young couples which is why all the units are so small they were never meant as full-fledged homes.
    One reason Pioneer faded out as a residential area after the mines closed is because it's very dark up in there in winter; also snowier and colder, and what remained of services in the Bralorne area was in 1st and 2nd Townsites (Pioneer is aka Fourth Townsite, after the mines were amalgamated)
    Just to be clear where it is, that whorehouse is below 1st Townsite in an area known as Ogden - a name that once appeared on maps and referred to private businesses which spring up just outside the Bralorne Mines Limited property line - this included the Mines Hotel and most of Ogden was before the Mines Hotel including the whorehouses, an automotive shop or two, maybe a grocery etc. There were also bars at Brexton/Fish Lake and likely another working girl or two; but nowhere on Bralorne Mines property.
    One of the whorehouses was "Zelda's" but I don't think that's it as there's an old news item about it getting a landslide into its front door and wiping it out; maybe Zelda rebuilt (other whorehouses btw were at one time in Gold Bridge, I think Bill Davidson, owner of Minto, accommodated some discreetly within Minto somewhere, maybe over at Grey Rock (a neighbourhood of Minto close to the greyrock bluffs just south of it).
    Most of Minto was wiped out by a huge debris flow down Gun Creek in the '40s so there weren't houses standing when the inundation happened; the Minto City Hotel was moved before the indundation and became the Gold Bridge Hotel, on the same site as today's hotel of that name.
    Recommend you pick up and read Lewis Green's "The Great Years: Gold Mining in the Bridge River Valley" (Tricouni Books, 2000) before you head back up into that country again.....

    Feb 9, 2024 Thx for the great videos , Dustin. Greetings from Bralorne. Love seeing your great shots of places I've visited over the years. Your visit to the whorehouse near Bralorne reminds me of a funny story my late neighbour Limey John told me. It seems one of the brothel ladies was charged with running a house of ill repute and fined five hundred dollars. She didn't much like that schemed of a way to get even. When time came to pay the fine she loaded up a wheel barrow with 50,000 pennies and marched into the magistrates office and deposited them on the floor there and said " there's your damn fine". Too funny , lol! There's so many stories of peoples antics in the old days when people had to entertain themselves. Pratical jokers around every corner😂

      most of the folks in Minto were already long-gone by the time the flooding happened.....could be the ranches and homesteaders along the valley floor didn't get all that much warning though an hour seems unlikely; they'd all have known of the dam going up and knew what was coming; I know I met a scion of the Rexmount Ranch who was still bitter about losing it.
